Feels like the market wants to take a breather at the start of trading, as its a whirlwind period of excitement. 

Lots of questions this morning, including:

Can the value trade keep up its torrid pace?

I think this will continue, especially in Industrial names.  The upgrade of the morning is UBS going to buy from neutral on Boeing (BA) with target of $300.00

If there is new leadership, where would it come from?

The pattern of investors moving into big tech and communication stocks when they are unsure, should continue.

Will Congress stop punking the market and do something on stimulus?

The bifurcation of Main Street and Wall Street is a reminder we need more than the wealth effect of stocks and the housing boom when government is forcing people not to work and small businesses are folding.

Couple that with that jobs report, and I think we could get stimulus out of Congress this week.

Will the hot IPO market spark a market wide spike higher?

The answer is yes. There will be additional buzz when AirBnB and Door Dash go public this week.
